There were no takers for the last one - despite my Year 11s best efforts!! New #puzzle #frog 🐸

@cheshirewirral Not symmetry? 😉

[Thomas Quantrell @QuantrellThomas]

@Scott_Math83 Congrats & good luck to you. I’m sure you’ll be great as you are asking the right questions already. I’m also moving school to a HOD role after 8 years at my last school and so I totally understand. Some great advice in these comments 👍🏼

@jennyhealey @EmmaCookeBooks @missradders ‘Worth’ is a strong word… it’s a laugh though 😂 Bought mine last year and impressed some students in a Maths club when we played with it. Beyond that… 🤷🏼‍♂️

@ChristiePieX @missradders @MrsMandMaths @mathsjem Strava challenge and Pi-ku sound fantastic. Thank you for sharing your ideas! 💡

@MrLockleyMaths @Whitehughes Welcome 👋

[Thomas Quantrell @QuantrellThomas]

@TarverTeach @MrTs_NQTs I personally do this. I want observers to see exactly my thought processes behind activities, movement, questioning etc. I would rather provide it clearly than hope they notice it naturally, as many distractions are possible. If I change plans, they’ll see I was adaptable too.
